In this episode, Max and Doyle reflect on the first of the three great tragedians: Aeschylus. The Oresteia is the only surviving complete trilogy of 5th-century Greek tragedy. The trilogy is composed of the Agamemnon, the Libation Bearers, and the Eumenides. We reflect on the nature of sin and tragic missing the mark--particularly on the phenomenon of repeating the sins of our forebears. We discovered that only by abdicating the 'eye for an eye' sense of justice can we overcome the sins of our past and move forward.
